We're grateful that the Senate stood with rape survivors in the military. But now the bill will be conferenced with the version the U.S. House of Representatives passed in May that does not include the same language. That means it's up to House Speaker John Boehner to do the right thing for servicewomen -- and ensure that the provision lifting the ban stays in the final bill.

We asked you, our supporters, to send a strong message to Speaker Boehner and other anti-choice members of Congress to put the needs of sexual assault survivors in the military before their anti-choice agenda.

More than 26,000 activists signed our petition in just three days!

We took those signatures up to Capitol Hill today and delivered them directly to Speaker Boehner's office to let him know that denying reproductive-health care to servicewomen who are rape survivors is just plain wrong.

After a weekend getting fired up to STOP the War on Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America's state affiliates went to Capitol Hill yesterday to meet with members of Congress from their states. They visited nearly 50 offices in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives!

This kind of pro-choice visibility adds to our day-to-day communication with our allies on the Hill. We have channeled more than 550,000 messages to Congress opposing the War on Women--so lawmakers know the NARAL family has backup.

Today's the day! Right now, thousands of activists - from Tempe to Boston - are pouring into Washington, D.C. They're coming by the busload to tell their representatives to STOP the War on Women at our pro-choice lobby day and rally.

If you can't make it to our nation's capital today, we still need you to match our presence in the halls of Congress with hundreds of calls, posts, and tweets. Find out more about what you can do on our website.

Here are three steps to taking action:

Call the Capitol switchboard at 443-503-4917. Tell them where you're from and ask to speak with your representative.

Tell the staff person who answers the phone that you're a constituent, and say:

As a constituent, I urge you to stop the War on Women by voting against H.R.3, H.R.358, and attacks on family planning.

Your calls, emails, tweets, and Facebook posts to Congress could not be happening at a more important time: tomorrow, a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on H.R.3, the "rape audits" bill.

We want to hear how you plan to get involved today. Leave a comment, and we'll choose 10 people at random to receive a free lobby day T-shirt!

Keep up with Lobby Day here on BlogforChoice, on our Facebook page and on our Twitter feed. Check the hashtag #Rally4Health to follow the conversation. We'll be covering the lobby day and rally live from Capitol Hill throughout the day.

We can't wait to see you (or read your posts and tweets). Together, we will end the War on Women!

Now, this progress is at risk--and we're joining forces with our friends at DC Vote in standing up for the women in a community where many NARAL Pro-Choice America employees live.

Here's the background: Congress has the authority to overrule the decisions of the District of Columbia's locally elected city council.

And the people of D.C. don't even have a say in what goes on in Congress: they have no senators, and their lone voice in the U.S. House of Representatives, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, doesn't get a vote. Talk about taxation without representation!

With the House under anti-choice control, these limitations on their rights have severe consequences for D.C. women's freedom and privacy.

The House has passed a budget bill that would prohibit D.C. from spending its own locally raised funds to help low-income women access abortion care.

That's right: Congress is telling D.C. taxpayers what they can and can't spend their money on!

We must make sure our friends in the Senate do not allow the House's attack on women in D.C. to stand.

The language published today reaffirms the principles of protecting the doctor-patient relationship by repealing the most onerous and intrusive parts of Bush's last-minute refusal rule. As the Obama administration seeks to protect women's access to birth control, lawmakers on Capitol Hill are preparing to vote for a bill that would eliminate funding for family-planning services nationwide. This is yet another example of why elections matter. When we elect people who value women's health and privacy, women win.

As the House wages war on women's health, it's nice to have a pro-choice president!
